Go Dive Mossel Bay

We’ve got a little makeover happening! 💙🔧

Our Go Dive Mossel Bay shop is CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS while we give the place some much-needed love.

We’re making a few changes behind the scenes to create a better, fresher space for our divers, students and customers. 🐠🤿

We know the shop being closed is an inconvenience, and we really appreciate your patience, support and understanding while we get everything done.

We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on and welcome you back! 💙🤿

We say goodbye to another one of our field specialists at Go Dive. Full of laughs, love and encouragement, Ella was one of our field specialists training for her instructors. Passing with flying colours and leaving us all with a hole that her presence used to fill. You’re going to be a great NAUI Instructor, thank you for leaving your mark with Go Dive! 🦈🫧🩵

What a wonderful four days with Clemson University College of Science . Thank you guys for giving us the amazing opportunity to show you our marine world. From tagging trips to intertidal surveys, and Great White Shark population studies to trying out scuba diving for the first time, each day was met with excitement and enthusiasm to learn more about our conservation projects. We hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed sharing our little corner of the world with you! 🐠🦀🌊

To our scuba family and friends around the world 🌍💙

Please consider registering as a stem cell donor if you haven’t already. It takes just a few minutes to sign up through organisations like DKMS, but it could mean a second chance at life for someone in need.

Please keep following Alba’s journey. Keep sharing her story. Keep spreading the word.

And to the bravest diver on our team—let’s find your perfect match. You’ve got this, Alba the Brave. 🧡🧡🧡

I don't ask this lightly, but if you could do just one thing today, please let it be this 🧡

I've written this article to explain why finding a stem cell donor is so important, what the process actually involves, and why one simple cheek swab could one day save someone's life.

I'd be incredibly grateful if you could share it.

The person who could save Alba's life may not even know they are needed yet. The more people who see this, the greater the chance that they do.

Thank you for helping spread this message. It means so much to this desperate mother.

Here are the stem cell donor registries I know of around the world. Donor searches are carried out internationally, so every new person who registers could potentially become a lifesaving match for someone, somewhere.

Please message me with links to registries in any countries I’ve missed, and I’ll add them to the list.

Saying bye to one of the blessing that came through to GoDive! Gray was one of our field specialists for may and June and also the woman behind the scenes for our social media. A smile that captures everyone and a laugh that will never be forgotten! Thank you gray for the imprint you’ve left on us all. See you soon!! 💞🐠

Our Go Dive family needs your help. 💙🧡

Alba is one of our junior divers, and her mom, Esther, is our lead conservationist. At only 13, Alba is now searching for a stem cell donor as she continues her fight against leukaemia.

Please read the post below and, if you’re eligible, register as a donor. Sharing this post could also make all the difference. 🧡

🧡 Thank you for supporting our girl. She has a big ocean to continue exploring as soon as she’s healthy 🧡

🧡 Please Register as a Stem Cell Donor 🧡

Today, we learned that Alba's leukaemia is not responding as well as doctors had hoped. She now faces another round of intensive chemotherapy, and the search for a stem cell donor is beginning.

A stem cell transplant could become a vital part of her treatment journey. The challenge is that finding a matching donor can be incredibly difficult.

That's why we're asking for your help.

If you're eligible, please register with DKMS Africa as a stem cell donor. It takes just a few minutes, involving a very simple cheek swab with a cotton bud, which you do at home, but for someone waiting for a match, it could mean everything. Here are the links to all DKMS sites worldwide, as they will search internationally for matches.

Someone, somewhere, could be the match that gives a child a future.

Thank you for standing with Alba and all families facing blood cancer 🧡
